Question

i was wondering if the breast milk of a women is pak (clean) or not ?

if the milk gets on your clothes do you need to change your clothing and will gusul become wajib.

also is the name for a girl aaliyaah permisible, if someone has that name should they change it ?

Answer

1. Breast milk is paak (pure). If the clothes are soiled with milk from the breast, then the clothes do not have to be washed. Ghusl is also not necessary.

2. The name Aaliyah is appropriate for a girl.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
